Before the new CC update, users had to export a .SVG file from Illustrator which could be confusing based on the setting options. Now, all they have to do is copy the drawing from Illustrator to the clipboard, and paste it into Animate and Reflow. The new updates have made this really simple.

http://layersmagazine.com/pen-tool-preview-in-illustrator-cc.html#commentsThu, 19 Jun 2014 12:37:57 +0000http://layersmagazine.wpengine.com/?p=18886Over the years, the Pen tool has become notorious as a tough tool for Illustrator users to learn and master. So over the past couple of versions, Adobe has been offering alternatives to the Pen tool such as the totally rebuilt Pencil tool. Now the Pen tool itself has been enhanced to show a “Rubber Band” Preview of the results as you are drawing with the Pen.

In this tutorial, I will review how the Pen tool works and explore the new Preview feature. You will get to see how it works and how do you turn it off if you don’t want to use it.

So much so, it gets my vote for most improved feature in Illustrator. Why do I like it so much? The objects that are drawn on a perspective grid and the grid itself are now connected. So if you need to change the perspective of your completed drawing, you just change the grid and the whole drawing updates to your new perspective.
